Obituary of Peter Muderewich

Peter Muderewich of Yorkton, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 26th 2015 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. Peter was born on January 14, 1928 in the Stenen district of Saskatchewan to Fred and Pauline (nee Hykaway) Muderewich. He attended Gold Bank School until the age of 14 when his father passed away. He then stayed home to help with the family farm. This was the beginning of his farming career, which continued until his retirement. Besides enjoying the growing of crops he very much enjoyed repairing and rebuilding equipment and spent many hours in his workshop doing this. His skills and his welder allowed him to make implements for the farm as well as items such as a snowmobile and small riding tractor for his and his son's recreational enjoyment. Despite the countless hours of hard work, Peter still found time for recreation. Family outings at the lake were common. Peter and Annie enjoyed several holidays together to destinations in the USA and Cuba. In his later years he had time to enjoy fishing and golf. He will be remembered for his love of nature and the outdoors. Peter married Annie Gurski of Stenen on July 23rd, 1950.
